Boats Against the Current - Eric Carmen

Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Sometimes I get confused 'Bout how it all went down When I feel like I miss you I try to block it out Still remember when we moved into that place too soon When we paid too much 'cause, we loved the view When we just met and it didn't make sense But you said forever, and I did too, too, too Fuck I almost forgot about you breaking my heart I almost forgot what I went through Left out the most important part It got really bad, we lost what we had I almost forgot about you (hey) I almost forgot (I almost forgot) Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh I almost forgot (I almost forgot) You're still affecting my mood I never let it show (I never let it show) I know you're feeling it too It's hard to let it go I remember when I moved out And you chased me down Yelling, "Don't forget all that we've been through" But that's just it, yeah, I'm sick of this shit I don't want forever if it's with you, you, you Fuck I almost forgot about you breaking my heart I almost forgot what I went through Left out the most important part It got really bad, we lost what we had I almost forgot about you I almost forgot (I almost forgot) Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh I almost forgot (I almost forgot) Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh I almost forgot (I almost forgot) Ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah Sometimes I get confused 'Bout how it all went down I almost forgot about you breaking my heart I almost forgot what I went through Left out the most important part It got really bad, we lost what we had I almost forgot about you (you I almost forgot (I almost forgot) Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh I almost forgot Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh I almost forgot (I almost forgot) Ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah

I always say, I always say that it's the last time A promise I can't keep I always say I'll get a grip and it'll be fine But I lie straight through my teeth (lie straight through my teeth) And though I try and do it right with my intentions Keepin' good, they never break, but I still bend 'em 'Cause this devil on my shoulder wants to pull me underneath (underneath) Another sleepless night staring through the ceiling Wondering how could I Calm my head, yeah, calm my head, 'cause I see red My blood is boiling and it shows When all you are is a weapon (weapon) You shoot 'em down 'til you end up alone I seem fine But I can't take the highs and the lows All I am is a weapon (weapon) I shoot 'em down 'til I end up alone I always say I hate the way you look at me now And I swear, I didn't mean to be a let-down What I broke can't be fixed with all my sorry excuses, no Another sleepless night staring through the ceiling Wondering how could I Calm my head, yeah, calm my head, 'cause I see red My blood is boiling and it shows When all you are is a weapon (weapon) You shoot 'em down 'til you end up alone I seem fine But I can't take the highs and the lows All I am is a weapon (weapon) I shoot 'em down 'til I end up alone No, I won't go under No, I won't back down Bittersweet surrender Everything is better now No, I won't go under No, I won't back down Bittersweet surrender It's better now I see red My blood is boiling and it shows When all you are is a weapon (weapon) You shoot 'em down 'til you end up alone I seem fine But I can't take the highs and the lows All I am is a weapon (weapon) I shoot 'em down 'til I end up alone All I am is a weapon I shoot 'em down 'til I end up alone All I am is a weapon I shoot 'em down 'til I end up alone

Hey, I hear the voice of a preacher from the back room Calling my name and I follow just to find you I trace the faith to a broken down television and put on the weather And I've trained myself to give up on the past 'cause I frozen time between hearses and caskets Lost control when I panicked at the acid test I wanna get better While my friends were getting high and chasing girls down parkway lines I was losing my mind because the love, the love, the love, the love, the love That I gave wasted on a nice face In a blaze of fear I put a helmet on a helmet Counting seconds through the night and got carried away So now I'm standing on the overpass screaming at the cars Hey, I wanna get better! I didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face I wanna get better, better, better, better I wanna get better I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change I wanna get better, better, better, better I wanna get better I go up to my room and there's girls on the ceiling Cut out their pictures and I chase that feeling Of an 18 year old who didn't know what loss was And now I'm a stranger And I miss the days of a life still permanent Mourn the years before I got carried away So now I'm staring at the interstate screaming at myself Hey, I wanna get better! I didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face I wanna get better, better, better, better I wanna get better I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change I wanna get better, better, better, better Better, 'cause I'm sleeping in the back of a taxi I'm screaming from my bedroom window Even if it's gonna kill me Woke up this morning early before my family From this dream where she was trying to show me How a life can move from the darkness She said to get better So I put a bullet where I should have put a helmet And I crash my car 'cause I wanna get carried away That's why I'm standing on the overpass screaming at myself Hey, I wanna get better! I wanna get better, better, better, better I wanna get better I didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face I wanna get better, better, better, better I wanna get better I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change I wanna get better, better, better, better I wanna get better

What did I hear you say? Say it to my face It's not even worth the fight Waiting for you to say What's got you so afraid? I'm not gonna waste my time (waste my time) Yeah, the bigger they are, the harder they fall And I got so sick of feeling so small I'll leave you alone to build up your walls What did I hear you say? How did we become so numb? We just let it come undone And I just started giving up But that won't save us Maybe we were born to fight If you wanna make it out alive We gotta let the anger die 'Cause that won't save us And now we're so far away But we talk every day Something 'bout it just ain't right I'm sinking under the weight It's like I could break I'd never let you hear my cries (hear my cries) Well, the duller the knife, the deeper the scars I don't need a light to see in the dark I know what you're like, I know who you are What were you gonna say? How did we become so numb? We just let it come undone And I just started giving up But that won't save us Maybe we were born to fight If you wanna make it out alive We gotta let the anger die 'Cause that won't save us Are you proud of what we've come to be? We're sorry, but that won't save us We fucked up, and I'd give anything If only that could save us How did we become so numb? We just let it come undone And I just started giving up But that won't save us Maybe we were born to fight If you wanna make it out alive We gotta let the anger die 'Cause that won't save us What did I hear you say?

Resta con me, come fossimo sospesi In quest'ultimo respiro prima di cambiare il corso delle cose Resta con me anche senza dire niente Anche senza dire quello che vorrei sentirti dire ancora Come vorrei che questa luce illuminasse i miei tormenti e le maree Come vorrei che queste foto appese mi parlassero di te Amarti non è certo una follia Senti come è cambiato il vento Senti questo momento, è per noi Rimango senza fiato, legato a questo prato di stelle Senti come sono vicino pur essendo lontano da te La notte ci sorride, la luna è sempre quella Se le guardi da quaggiù Anche se qui manchi tu Resta con me, osserviamoci in silenzio Non lasciamo spazio a tutti quei fantasmi, respiriamo ancora Come vorrei che questa luce illuminasse i miei tormenti e le maree Come vorrei che queste mani nude mi sfiorassero per sempre, inerme Amore, amore mio, resta con me Senti come è cambiato il vento Senti questo momento è per noi Rimango senza fiato, legato a questo prato di stelle Fermo senza dire niente, adesso Senti come sono vicino pur essendo lontano da te La notte ci sorride, la luna è sempre quella se le guardi da quaggiù Anche se qui manchi Anche se qui manchi Anche se qui manchi
